2009-01-06eCryptfs: Filename Encryption: mount optionMichael Halcrow
Enable mount-wide filename encryption by providing the Filename Encryption Key (FNEK) signature as a mount option. Note that the ecryptfs-utils userspace package versions 61 or later support this option. When mounting with ecryptfs-utils version 61 or later, the mount helper will detect the availability of the passphrase-based filename encryption in the kernel (via the eCryptfs sysfs handle) and query the user interactively as to whether or not he wants to enable the feature for the mount. If the user enables filename encryption, the mount helper will then prompt for the FNEK signature that the user wishes to use, suggesting by default the signature for the mount passphrase that the user has already entered for encrypting the file contents. When not using the mount helper, the user can specify the signature for the passphrase key with the ecryptfs_fnek_sig= mount option. This key must be available in the user's keyring. The mount helper usually takes care of this step. If, however, the user is not mounting with the mount helper, then he will need to enter the passphrase key into his keyring with some other utility prior to mounting, such as ecryptfs-manager.

2008-11-14CRED: Pass credentials through dentry_open()David Howells
Pass credentials through dentry_open() so that the COW creds patch can have SELinux's flush_unauthorized_files() pass the appropriate creds back to itself when it opens its null chardev. The security_dentry_open() call also now takes a creds pointer, as does the dentry_open hook in struct security_operations.

2008-10-13vfs: Use const for kernel parser tableSteven Whitehouse
This is a much better version of a previous patch to make the parser tables constant. Rather than changing the typedef, we put the "const" in all the various places where its required, allowing the __initconst exception for nfsroot which was the cause of the previous trouble.

2008-07-24eCryptfs: Make all persistent file opens delayedMichael Halcrow
There is no good reason to immediately open the lower file, and that can cause problems with files that the user does not intend to immediately open, such as device nodes. This patch removes the persistent file open from the interpose step and pushes that to the locations where eCryptfs really does need the lower persistent file, such as just before reading or writing the metadata stored in the lower file header. Two functions are jumping to out_dput when they should just be jumping to out on error paths. This patch also fixes these.

2008-07-24eCryptfs: Privileged kthread for lower file opensMichael Halcrow
eCryptfs would really like to have read-write access to all files in the lower filesystem. Right now, the persistent lower file may be opened read-only if the attempt to open it read-write fails. One way to keep from having to do that is to have a privileged kthread that can open the lower persistent file on behalf of the user opening the eCryptfs file; this patch implements this functionality. This patch will properly allow a less-privileged user to open the eCryptfs file, followed by a more-privileged user opening the eCryptfs file, with the first user only being able to read and the second user being able to both read and write. eCryptfs currently does this wrong; it will wind up calling vfs_write() on a file that was opened read-only. This is fixed in this patch.

2008-02-14Embed a struct path into struct nameidata instead of nd->{dentry,mnt}Jan Blunck
This is the central patch of a cleanup series. In most cases there is no good reason why someone would want to use a dentry for itself. This series reflects that fact and embeds a struct path into nameidata. Together with the other patches of this series - it enforced the correct order of getting/releasing the reference count on <dentry,vfsmount> pairs - it prepares the VFS for stacking support since it is essential to have a struct path in every place where the stack can be traversed - it reduces the overall code size: without patch series: text data bss dec hex filename 5321639 858418 715768 6895825 6938d1 vmlinux with patch series: text data bss dec hex filename 5320026 858418 715768 6894212 693284 vmlinux This patch: Switch from nd->{dentry,mnt} to nd->path.{dentry,mnt} everywhere.

2008-02-06ecryptfs: check for existing key_tfm at mount timeEric Sandeen
Jeff Moyer pointed out that a mount; umount loop of ecryptfs, with the same cipher & other mount options, created a new ecryptfs_key_tfm_cache item each time, and the cache could grow quite large this way. Looking at this with mhalcrow, we saw that ecryptfs_parse_options() unconditionally called ecryptfs_add_new_key_tfm(), which is what was adding these items. Refactor ecryptfs_get_tfm_and_mutex_for_cipher_name() to create a new helper function, ecryptfs_tfm_exists(), which checks for the cipher on the cached key_tfm_list, and sets a pointer to it if it exists. This can then be called from ecryptfs_parse_options(), and new key_tfm's can be added only when a cached one is not found. With list locking changes suggested by akpm.

2007-10-16eCryptfs: add key list structure; search keyringMichael Halcrow
Add support structures for handling multiple keys. The list in crypt_stat contains the key identifiers for all of the keys that should be used for encrypting each file's File Encryption Key (FEK). For now, each inode inherits this list from the mount-wide crypt_stat struct, via the ecryptfs_copy_mount_wide_sigs_to_inode_sigs() function. This patch also removes the global key tfm from the mount-wide crypt_stat struct, instead keeping a list of tfm's meant for dealing with the various inode FEK's. eCryptfs will now search the user's keyring for FEK's parsed from the existing file metadata, so the user can make keys available at any time before or after mounting. Now that multiple FEK packets can be written to the file metadata, we need to be more meticulous about size limits. The updates to the code for writing out packets to the file metadata makes sizes and limits more explicit, uniformly expressed, and (hopefully) easier to follow.

2007-05-07slab allocators: Remove SLAB_DEBUG_INITIAL flagChristoph Lameter
I have never seen a use of SLAB_DEBUG_INITIAL. It is only supported by SLAB. I think its purpose was to have a callback after an object has been freed to verify that the state is the constructor state again? The callback is performed before each freeing of an object. I would think that it is much easier to check the object state manually before the free. That also places the check near the code object manipulation of the object. Also the SLAB_DEBUG_INITIAL callback is only performed if the kernel was compiled with SLAB debugging on. If there would be code in a constructor handling SLAB_DEBUG_INITIAL then it would have to be conditional on SLAB_DEBUG otherwise it would just be dead code. But there is no such code in the kernel. I think SLUB_DEBUG_INITIAL is too problematic to make real use of, difficult to understand and there are easier ways to accomplish the same effect (i.e. add debug code before kfree). There is a related flag SLAB_CTOR_VERIFY that is frequently checked to be clear in fs inode caches. Remove the pointless checks (they would even be pointless without removeal of SLAB_DEBUG_INITIAL) from the fs constructors. This is the last slab flag that SLUB did not support. Remove the check for unimplemented flags from SLUB.

2007-05-02remove "struct subsystem" as it is no longer neededGreg Kroah-Hartman
We need to work on cleaning up the relationship between kobjects, ksets and ktypes. The removal of 'struct subsystem' is the first step of this, especially as it is not really needed at all. Thanks to Kay for fixing the bugs in this patch. Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>

2007-02-16[PATCH] eCryptfs: Reduce stack usage in ecryptfs_generate_key_packet_set()Michael Halcrow
eCryptfs is gobbling a lot of stack in ecryptfs_generate_key_packet_set() because it allocates a temporary memory-hungry ecryptfs_key_record struct. This patch introduces a new kmem_cache for that struct and converts ecryptfs_generate_key_packet_set() to use it.

2007-02-12[PATCH] eCryptfs: xattr flags and mount optionsMichael Halcrow
This patch set introduces the ability to store cryptographic metadata into an lower file extended attribute rather than the lower file header region. This patch set implements two new mount options: ecryptfs_xattr_metadata - When set, newly created files will have their cryptographic metadata stored in the extended attribute region of the file rather than the header. When storing the data in the file header, there is a minimum of 8KB reserved for the header information for each file, making each file at least 12KB in size. This can take up a lot of extra disk space if the user creates a lot of small files. By storing the data in the extended attribute, each file will only occupy at least of 4KB of space. As the eCryptfs metadata set becomes larger with new features such as multi-key associations, most popular filesystems will not be able to store all of the information in the xattr region in some cases due to space constraints. However, the majority of users will only ever associate one key per file, so most users will be okay with storing their data in the xattr region. This option should be used with caution. I want to emphasize that the xattr must be maintained under all circumstances, or the file will be rendered permanently unrecoverable. The last thing I want is for a user to forget to set an xattr flag in a backup utility, only to later discover that their backups are worthless. ecryptfs_encrypted_view - When set, this option causes eCryptfs to present applications a view of encrypted files as if the cryptographic metadata were stored in the file header, whether the metadata is actually stored in the header or in the extended attributes. No matter what eCryptfs winds up doing in the lower filesystem, I want to preserve a baseline format compatibility for the encrypted files. As of right now, the metadata may be in the file header or in an xattr. There is no reason why the metadata could not be put in a separate file in future versions. Without the compatibility mode, backup utilities would have to know to back up the metadata file along with the files. The semantics of eCryptfs have always been that the lower files are self-contained units of encrypted data, and the only additional information required to decrypt any given eCryptfs file is the key. That is what has always been emphasized about eCryptfs lower files, and that is what users expect. Providing the encrypted view option will provide a way to userspace applications wherein they can always get to the same old familiar eCryptfs encrypted files, regardless of what eCryptfs winds up doing with the metadata behind the scenes. This patch: Add extended attribute support to version bit vector, flags to indicate when xattr or encrypted view modes are enabled, and support for the new mount options.

2007-02-12[PATCH] eCryptfs: Public key; packet managementMichael Halcrow
Public key support code. This reads and writes packets in the header that contain public key encrypted file keys. It calls the messaging code in the previous patch to send and receive encryption and decryption request packets from the userspace daemon.
